I think it's quite funny (or at least slightly amusing on an otherwise boring day).
- egregious (used to refer to something that was exceptionally good, and slowly [possibly through sarcasm: "O, that's just GREAT"] it came to mean the exact opposite)
- nonplussed (technically means being completely shocked and perturbed, but many people use it more and more to mean blasé).
also the word silly, if you go way back, might fit into this category, though not as well as the other two.
I can't think of any others... there must be more. I really like this kind of stuff... maybe it'll be useful someday; I could write the most ambiguous story ever written! it will be so silly it will leave you positively nonplused from its egregiousness!
